Orthopaedics

The Orthopaedic Rehabilitation team works with patients undergoing elective spine surgeries and total joint replacements.

Our comprehensive team assists you with improving range of motion and strength to maximize mobility and can often see you on the same day after surgery. This helps optimize function and decrease the length of your hospital stay. The team also serves patients admitted after trauma, as well as those who have undergone orthopaedic tumor removal surgery.Ìý
